Living in the Eye of the Hurricane

Inner city so cold and hard
They’re so soft and warm
Arms around each other
Seeking shelter from the storm
Brothers dying, sisters crying
Ain’t nowhere to turn
Shattered glass and shattered dreams
Outside the streets all burn

Living in the eye of the hurricane
Living in the eye of the Hurricane

Just surviving day to day
Guns and drugs don’t go away, no way
Trying to keep the fear and pain at bay

Living in the eye of the Hurricane
In the eye of the hurricane

Is the weather changing, the man ain’t saying
The hawk brings no relief
Outside it’s the badlands
Inside praying for belief
Piece by piece the city’s dying
They keep holding on
Hoping for salvation
Angels in Babylon
